I just got back form a short weekend trip in Pa . We had a great time . The couple next to us had a couple of older teenagers . But what he had that was interesting was a 1988 30 ft wildwood trailer , yes it was 26 years old . Not the best looking thing but not too hateful . I asked him why he hasnt moved up , He said " why ? its paid for " He told me to look around at all the bright new shiny trailers around , we are all at the same place , having the same good time , my AC works and my beer is cold , my bed is comfortable , I dont care about sctatches , dings or dents , if something breaks and it will ,I fix it , I know this trailer front to back . He bought it used for $ 2000 dollars 20 years ago . Spent over 100 weekends in it . His kids grew up in camping in that trailer . He showed me the inside , you could see the fun they had , the kids bunk area had stickers on the walls , there were scratches on the cabinets , the original refrigerator was replaced with an apartment size regular electric fridge . After I walked back out I then understood what he really was showing me , Its not about the shine , or the graphics , or the slideouts , or the flat screens , its about the fun , the family and the friends . I told the wife , " thats what I hope our trailer looks like in 15 more years"
